When the first $1 million New York Lottery jackpot came around, I was around 15. $1 million was an absolute fortune back then, and my friend Cliff really wanted us to go in together on some tickets.
But I said no. Even though I always dreamed of making it big, I didn’t want it that way, without any work.
This little story has turned into an ongoing debate in my family:
“If you could take a 'success pill' that would result in the following two scenarios, which would you choose?”
You receive a fortune instantly.
OR
You work really hard for years and eventually become very successful, earning a fortune.
To me, there’s only one right answer.
To me, life is all about the journey, not the destination.
If you somehow manage to beat the odds and win the lottery, you'll most likely have a whole new set of problems to deal with. Life isn't going to get any easier.
Family members and friends will start asking you for money, and there's going to be a lot of pressure as to where you decide to allocate that new money. Just look at some of these stories I came across via an article on Business Insider:
Bud Post lost $16.2 million within a nightmarish year — his own brother put out a hit on him.
William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988 but was $1 million in debt within a year.
"I wish it never happened," Post said. "It was totally a nightmare."
A former girlfriend successfully sued him for a share of his winnings and his brother was arrested for hiring a hit man to kill him in the hopes that he'd inherit a share of the winnings.
After sinking money into various family businesses, Post sank into debt and spent time in jail for firing a gun over the head of a bill collector.
Bud now lives quietly on $450 a month and food stamps.
Lara and Roger Griffiths bought their dream home ... and then life fell apart.
Before they won a $2.76 million lottery jackpot in 2005, Lara and Roger Griffiths hardly ever argued.
Then they won and bought a million-dollar house and a Porsche.
But six years after their win, Roger drove away in the Porsche after Lara confronted him over emails suggesting that he was interested in another woman.
Their 14-year marriage was over, a freak fire gutted their house, and every penny of their fortune was gone.
I was a very poor man who always had no luck when it came to playing the lottery. I have been playing the lottery since I was 21 and now I am 45, which means I have been playing the lottery for 24 years. The biggest amount I ever won in my life was $4,000. But one day my story turns into a history after I discovered this man called Professor Isaac on the internet who is the best when it comes to winning lottery spells. This man is a very strong voodoo who gives numbers that can never fail. After all my years of working and struggling to win the lottery, I finally won ($27,000,000). Professor Isaac is the name, Email: urgentspellcast01@gmail.com WhatsApp: +27606307392.
I have been praying so hard to be a lottery winner so I did a research online when I saw testimonies of how Professor Isaac reveal lottery winning numbers after casting his lottery spells so I immediately contacted him for help, he told me that a lottery spell will be cast and he will reveal the lottery numbers to me, I provided his requirements to cast the lottery spell and he gave me the lottery numbers so I bought a $50 Multiplier Mania ticket from a Newport BP gas station on Main Street and played the numbers. I couldn’t hold back my tears when I realized that I won the $500 million prize, I just dropped to my knees and hit the floor. Professor Isaac is a great psychic, Sharon Culpepper is my name and I lack words to appreciate him so I made a vow to myself that I will testify about him.
